Outcomes
term of an arithmetic sequence;
• use the conventions for coordinates in the
plane and plot points in all four quadrants,
including using geometric information;
• recognise and plot equations that
correspond to straight-line graphs in the
coordinate plane, including finding
gradients;
• construct linear functions from real-life
problems and plot their corresponding
graphs;
• discuss, plot and interpret graphs (which
may be non-linear) modelling real situations;
• generate points and plot graphs of simple
quadratic functions, and use these to find
approximate solutions.
